-These things would be nice to have:
- o log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
- to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with
- any of the links at that time
-
-These things will change in future udev versions:
- o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
- (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
-
-
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
-udev version:
- o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
- (-e exports everything)
-
- o remove udevstart
- (we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
- want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it)
-
- o remove extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
- (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
+ o drop support for node names in name stack, support only symlinks
+ With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
+ to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
+ From there on, only symlinks with identical names can be claimed
+ by multiple devices. It will simplify the logic a lot and shrink
+ /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also exclude "*/MAJ:MIN" link names
+ from the name stack, they can not conflict.
+ o remove most NAME= rules (they are provided by the 2.6.31 kernel)
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
+ o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
+ if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely
+ o remove copy of bsg.h
+ o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout
+ o add warning for BUS, SYSFS, ID
